Royal Doulton Atlanta 5-Piece Dinnerware Place Setting, Service for 1 Feature

Blue and white cloud-like borders imprinted with Greek key motif
Platinum edging; Langdale shape
Bone china for strength, bright white color
Dishwasher-safe; safe for warming at low temperatures

This unique dinnerware pattern has its roots in Ancient Greece but splashes of rich cobalt blue take the Atlanta collection from classic to contemporary. This single place setting includes a 10-inch dinner plate, an 8-inch salad/dessert plate, a 6-1/4-inch side plate, a 5-3/4-inch tea saucer, and a tea cup. All pieces feature cloudy blue-and-white borders imprinted with the Greek key design in silver. Platinum edging and trim complements the blue tones and creates a beautiful palette on which to serve a formal meal.

Atlanta dinnerware is made of bone china--fine china that has had bone ash added to the clay to produce a true white color--which is considered the strongest and most prestigious type due to its eighteenth century English origins. This place setting is also made in the Langdale shape, a vintage dinnerware style with smooth, clean lines introduced by and used to describe many of Royal Doulton's china patterns. All pieces are safe for light warming (up to 100 degrees Celsius) in the oven and for the dishwasher at low temperatures to avoid harming the platinum trim. This place setting coordinates with a whole series of Atlanta collection pieces. --Cristina Vaamonde
